SHE CAME HOME!
The gacha really did make up for milking me dry and giving me nothing in return with the Dreamwaker's Butterfly rerun.

IJN Musashi at anchor outside Hong Kong. The landmass visible in the background is the Dapeng Peninsula. Note the forward trim of the patrol boat near her funnel. This was the vessel that carried an envoy from Hong Kong Governor Mark Young, supposedly to negotiate evacuations.
Japanese sailors later reported that British emissaries explained their boat's trim by saying it had a leaky hull prone to taking on water. In fact, it was loaded with several tons of high explosive. Shortly after Musashi engaged her cranes to take the enemy boat on board, it exploded, damaging her upper decks, destroying the long-range comms antenna and several anti-aircraft guns, and causing the turret at her stern to list to one side. The damage looked more serious than it really was, and initial observers reported that the armored portions of the hull had been damaged, as well as the primary superstructure. In fact, the flagship remained seaworthy and capable of combat— though in an extended engagement such as the British Exile leadership had planned, the damage to her main guns and AA complement would no doubt have left her vulnerable to further attack.
Some historians speculate that the bombs were supposed to explode at the waterline, which, judging by the damage that was done to the battleship's more lightly armored upper decks, could have inflicted a wound necessitating immediate repair and possibly even one that would sink the ship. Alternately, penetrating the stern turret's magazine and causing a secondary explosion could have broken the ship in half.
Besides the pilot and purported British negotiator, both of whom were killed by the blast, seven Japanese sailors died instantly and twenty-six were seriously injured. Of those 26, one was the ship's captain and commander of the overall blockade fleet, Admiral Mineichi Koga, who had left the bridge to meet the negotiators. His injury, and the reluctance of Vice Admiral Shigeru Fukudome to order a retaliatory bombardment, kept the fleet immobilized for over an hour before Admiral Koga's passing.

I recall your post on the Japanese battleship Yamato being a colossal waste and poor weapon. My question is this, why then is there such a huge hype and culture around the ship?
It's worth noting that at the time of construction, battleships were considered the prevailing naval doctrine of the day, so the construction of a battleship as opposed to an aircraft carrier was considered a proper use of shipbuilding resources. Anyway, the point of the Yamato was to engage multiple battleships, it was intended to form a cornerstone in naval line battle against United States Navy capital ships and anchor the IJN fighting line. Japan believed that they could not compete with the United States in number of ship hulls produced, so it sought to make up for them by making individual ships larger and stronger. On paper, it's not a bad idea, but as I mentioned before, there were a lot of practical difficulties in operation that led to it being a waste.
As far as culturally speaking, Japanese militarists saw the Yamato and Musashi as visible expressions of Japanese naval engineering capability and a declaration of intent to surpass the western naval powers of the time: the United Kingdom and the United States (the latter being more important as the USA was seen as the Pacific naval power to rival Japan). Afterward, Yamato was mythologized, memorialized, and romanticized, as part of Japan's reckoning (or lack thereof) with their Second World War past. The name Yamato has been used as a symbol of national pride, anti-Western ideology, the victory of honor over cowardly self-preservation as its doomed sailors do their duty to the last in defense of their homeland, or as a means of aggressive foreign policy depending on the person - it's no surprise that it finds a lot of purchase among hardline Japanese militarist and Second World War apologists and warcrime denialists/minimizers.
Thanks for the question, Anon.

I was going to comment on how Akagi is Azur Lane Hideki Tojo before I realized he'd die before identifying as IJN.
She pretty much is. Or was I should say, because her level of political power makes her look like Hideki Tojo on steroids and also enhanced by Yog-Sothoth. Given how Musashi and Shinano talk about Akagi I'm half expecting Yamato's first scene to be Jintsuu and Kaga walking into Akagi's room and seeing Yamato willingly chained to the wall complete with ball gag, blindfold, earplugs, whipmarks, and inserted vibrator maybe I'm getting a little away from the point here.
Anywho, the second part is probably why Nagato's loyalists exist, as a way to show the almost civil war between the Navy and Army. We've even had the assassination(attempt)s!
Only, Hideki Tojo didn't slap an enormous dick on the negotiating table and oneshot a god while Hirohito had his tongue inserted somewhere unmentionable.
....That we know of.

i normally have not given a shit about popularity polls because none of my girlies ever end up even close to top 10, but seeing the winners of Group C being 3 of my favorite women is so heartwarming actually.
